Apologies!I interrupt your incredibly Dutch thread, in English no less - to ask a silly question.What are the titles of typical Dutch language television programmes and am I likely to find them (with English subtitles) on Youtube?

Err, I'm not sure we subtitle things in English ever. Commonly it's the other way around where we subtitle English programmes in Dutch. Are you looking for anything in particular (like comedy, drama, documentaries)?

The most authentic thing about us is our capacity to create, to overcome, to endure, to transform, to love and to be greater than our suffering. (Ben Okri)

I have never seen an English subbed Dutch television show. You could try the movie 'Zwartboek' (Black book) by Paul Verhoeven. Or maybe 'De lift' by Dick Maas...
